Based on personal experience, you need to be extra careful around other drivers especially tourists. When we parked at Vik black sand beach, the tourists next to us didn't hold their car door firmly and the wind slammed it into our rental car. It happened 5 or 6 times before I had to say something. They didn't seem to mind that their rental vehicle was damaging our rental vehicle.

When I visited, I used Blue Car rental, by the airport. They also included the 3 different insurance, and unlimited miles. They also gave me a chip (I’m sure that’s the incorrect word 🙈) on the keychain that gave me a gas discount. They also offered a specific type of optional insurance (don’t remember the name of it) that takes care of everything the other insurances didn’t cover and all I had to do was make sure the gas tank was full upon return. I had zero issues with them and wouldn’t mind using them again. Maybe you could do a video on purchasing gas in Iceland (how to read and use the gas pump), and the reasons why they may possibly hold funds, when paying by card, and for how long. That was an interesting experience for me, and I was thankful that I was able to budget for that. Love all your videos and I can’t wait to visit again!! I want to visit in the winter time, my next time. I just know the island would be beyond gorgeous! I’m doing my research, now, on things to do to stay safe and keep the environment safe and protected.

If you’re renting in the winter, do a full check of the vehicle before you leave the rental location. We made the mistake of renting from Enterprise at the Reykjavik Bus Station, and all the cars are sat outside… I fully defrosted our Land Rover Discovery, but the wipers had already been damaged by previous drivers, meaning they hardly touched the windscreen. Low sun, and lots of road spray made for a horrible driving experience. The cruise control also broke on day 1. We returned it the same night and got switched to a Jeep Wrangler that had no screen wash in it! Definitely avoid that depot - there are 3 rental companies there, all storing their cars in sub-zero temperatures with what seems to be a single garage failing to maintain them.

My daughter and I had an unexpected 6-hour flight delay during our layover in Iceland. Instead of sitting around the airport, we rented a car and drove around. It was very cool. We didn't go too far astray. Sketchy internet (no Google Maps) and the map wasn't to scale or easy to read. It was only $100-ish for the day. Definitely worth it--we saw Blue Lagoon, which was amazing, along with the Viking Museum.

I purchased top up insurance in the UK prior to travelling, and made sure I had insurance against damage caused by gravel and sand & ash damage of the paintwork. On my first trip (in August) I had a manual car (in fact I hired two cars on this trip), the second trip I went for an automatic 4 wheel drive car with studded tyres (October) and unlimited mileage.

It does not always work for different reasons, but when i can i rent a car from private people, that truly save you a lot of money. In many of the East European countries i have visited i do that with both homes and cars. The problem with that is that you usually need to get to know someone there first, so for the first week or so, you are pretty much stuck with a hotel and rental car companies.. But when i for example visited Ukraine, renting a room from private people was not a problem even if you did not know anyone, because it was so many that did it, that most people knew someone that was willing to do this. With cars it took a bit longer time to establish trust.. When it comes to renting room private, that also often give you inside local experiences that you normally would not get as a common tourist at a hotel. 🙂

Our rental car came with a massive sign on the steering wheel showing information but nowhere on it did it say it ran on diesel (there was a small white sticker on the inside of the gas door we missed, white sticker on white door) We put half a tank of gas in, yes, we felt dumb, we paid a mechanic and he drained it. He told us they get a couple per week! The rental company don’t bother fixing the obvious problem because they charge $400 “just in case” fee. That’s just one mechanic. It’s an obvious cash grab. Other than that, we loved Iceland.

Want to do the ring road this time. How long (days) should that take? I rented my car using your code already, for five days. Is that enough? Can you tell your viewers places to stay along the ring road?

From the airport you will be taken to the old location. You have to find a way to contact the company. I had to go across the road to blue rental and they were nice enough. Then had to wait to be picked up and taken to the new location. No apologies. No help. Some how it was my sister and I's (and the other group's that also were taken to the old location) fault.
